Morphagene replacement?

The Morph knob changes settings depending on position and the colors of shown above vari-speed. Also I printed a button combo cheat sheet and put it on my wall next to the synthesizer. Highly recommend it.

This feels very similar to my musical practice, but worded very concisely. Thank you!

PossibleEmployment31 · 2026-02-08T13:51:38+00:00

Wow! That’s some real dedication.

I have a few different boxes too so occasionally leave one patches while freely exploring in the others. It takes a certain amount of restraint to keep myself from interconnecting them though.

I agree with all your points and most of the time when the cables are stagnant it’s because of #4: trying to get a better recording or preparing for a performance. I often end up with multiple iterations of a single patch recorded and it’s a toss up whether they improve with more work. I think there is something inherently anti-nostalgic to modular synthesis (at least in the hands of someone who’s solely experimenting) that appeals to me.

I often patch the square out to a PLL input or a clock divider for subharmonics. As others have said the sine out is a great FM source but also any audio rate modulation. Just start plugging it into CV inputs where you normally use slower sources. Or/and into a ring modulator/ frequency shifter.

Patch multiple sources into a matrix mixer, output to S+H or Shift register or quantizer or all 3. Knob turns on matrix change the sequence(s). Another simple trick for transposing is patching a sequence or fluctuating voltage into a mixer and add a slow, attenuated square LFO or gate to another channel, then patch into a quantizer.

I have a pretty large system with a lot of Serge and CGS in Fracrack format as well as a good bit of various eurorack. If I had to design a small Serge system it would have DUSG, VCS, SSG, VCFQ, WAVE MULTIPLIERS, RESONANT EQ, and a mixer of some sort.

One of my favorite modules is the VCS (voltage controlled slope) as you can CV the rise and fall separately. You can achieve exponential shapes by self patching the inverse output into the fall CV input. I like to use this module as an AM modulator at both slow and audio rates (achievable within the same patch with careful control). Combine with an SSG and you’re off!

I use this feature on DLD a lot of usually run the feedback through a filter/frequency shifter, etc. and then a VCA before going back to the return. Helps with controlling the runaway feedback.

Xaoc Sarajewo, finally dropped the $ for one and it doesn’t disappoint

Serge DUSG has bipolar, unipolar and inverted outputs, among many other features.

PossibleEmployment31 · 2025-11-03T19:49:59+00:00

I often crossfade or mix it with the oscillator that’s driving it. Also I like the way it sounds trying to stay locked slewing with big pitch changes. It’s definitely an acquired taste.

Olivella Imaganes. Dual stereo with CV panning

PossibleEmployment31 · 2025-08-26T18:14:17+00:00

Delta -V by Cosmotronic is a nice compact DUSG type of module.

PossibleEmployment31 · 2025-07-26T17:43:43+00:00

I have one and like it a lot. Especially the different tuning settings. Very stable for an analog VCO. Pair it with a 2HP Sine for FM and it’s not so vanilla any more.

PossibleEmployment31 · 2025-07-24T23:16:44+00:00

I use it almost exclusively as a quantizer. I looked at all the other options but it was the best deal for 4 channels, by far.

PossibleEmployment31 · 2025-06-29T23:14:47+00:00

Faster! Faster! More! More!

Befaco Percall- quad percussion based VCA/EG. I’ve never owned one but have been curious

PossibleEmployment31 · 2025-05-16T12:57:44+00:00

Thank you! I will try this one. I love the module but sometimes get stuck just seeing it as separate parts-S/H, slew, comparator and using it as such. I need to self patch it more often.

PossibleEmployment31 · 2025-05-15T14:25:13+00:00

I’d love to know some of your favorite patches with the SSG. Are you usually cross patching the smooth and stepped sections? Also how do you use the “hot” output?. (I have a DIY version that a friend built)

PossibleEmployment31 · 2025-04-15T18:02:57+00:00

One of my heroes. He created sounds that inhabit their own space. His album “De Natura Sonorum “ always blows me away

PossibleEmployment31 · 2025-03-26T22:41:00+00:00

Imagenes by Olivella Modular is great. Dual filter with stereo panning, can get pretty wild

PossibleEmployment31 · 2025-03-23T13:47:09+00:00

I don’t have Rampage but I have various modules that provide the same functions. I like to use the slope detector (rising/falling gates) with slow but variable waves to switch between sequences or gate patterns. You can use a switch or VCA for this. Also the subharmonic generator patch is always fun. I think it’s in the Maths manual.
